Boys basketball: CdM wins, Morris hurt

LA HABRA - The Corona del Mar High boys basketball team handled La

Mirada, 53-37, in the first round of the Sonora Tournament Monday, but

senior Brooks Morris may have sustained a broken wrist for the winners.

Morris, a top returner, fell while attempting a layin on his left

(shooting) wrist, according to Coach Paul Orris.

The win allowed Orris to pull even with Jack Errion for the school and

Newport-Mesa District career victory record (199).

CdM will meet Monday’s Verbum Dei-Sonora winner Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
